CMA CGM has announced the implementation of a new Peak Season Surcharge (PSS) on shipments moving from the Far East to East Africa and Seychelles as the carrier adjusts rates during the seasonal demand period.
The surcharge will apply to eligible cargo transported on the affected trade lanes and is intended to support increased operational costs, capacity management, and service continuity during periods of higher shipping demand.
The rate adjustment reflects ongoing changes in the container shipping market, where carriers continue to manage fluctuations in cargo volumes, equipment availability, and operational expenses.
CMA CGM said the update forms part of its regular pricing measures to maintain reliable services and support customers across key international trade routes.
Shippers operating on Far East–East Africa and Seychelles services are expected to factor the revised charges into upcoming freight planning and logistics costs.
